Groovy

In this article I am going to present a brief introduction to the Groovy programming language. Groovy can be very beneficial to the artificial intelligence programmer. When training a neural network for pattern recognition it is often necessary to pre-process the data considerably before training the neural network. This is particularly true for temporal pattern recognition. Additionally control and training sets must be established, often by statistical analysis. Groovy allows you to very quickly create such code in a scripted way, without all of the ceremony of regular Java.
